Injured Rooney sits out Spain trip

WAYNE ROONEY will miss Manchester United’s Champions League clash with Valencia tomorrow night.

Alex Ferguson has told club officials the 24-year-old will not be fit enough to make the trip after being withdrawn with an ankle injury against Bolton on Sunday.

There has been no indication whether Rooney’s absence will be any longer, which would threaten his participation in Saturday’s Barclays Premier League encounter with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, plus England’s Euro 2012 qualifier with Montenegro on October 12.
